Psychiatry Research

The Department of Psychiatry provide a range of consultation-liaison psychiatry services to Beaumont Hospital. These services encompass the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of people with psychiatric disorder in the setting of a general medical hospital. We have a substantial input into the Accident and Emergency Department and a considerable amount of our work-load involves the assessment and management of the patients who present following deliberate self harm.

The Department can be divided into four main areas of sub-specialisation:- General Adult Liaison Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry, Psychiatry of Old Age, and the in-patient Substance Misuse service based in St. Michaels Ward.
